In early February, Mississauga City Council

passed the 2012 City Budget, ollowing veTown Halls where residents were able to providetheir eedback. As a newly elected councillor,this was my rst Mississauga budget debate.

Ater witnessing the work sta put into preparingthe budget and ater participating in monthso debate and discussion, I am condent that

we have passed a air and scally conservativebudget that keeps the interests o Mississaugaresidents in mind, while planning responsiblyor the uture.

The City is experiencing the same rising uel andutility costs you are. While the cost or providingthe services you are used to is increasing, we are

working hard to maintain our existing servicelevels and to reduce the impact o any increases.

This year, Mississauga residents will see a2.8 per cent increase on their total tax bill. Thismeans an increase o $113.76 on an averagehome assessed at $430,000 or $26.46 per$100,000 assessment. It is important to note that

only 30 cents or every dollar you pay on

your property taxes unds City programs andservices. Property taxes are shared with the Cityo Mississauga (30 per cent), Region o Peel(46 per cent) and the Province (24 per cent) oreducation (see pie chart below).

As our City matures and this inrastructurebegins to age, we need to provide the undsto keep these assets in a state o good repair.For instance, the Frank McKechnie Community

Centre is in need o signicant repairs and

upgrades similar to those recently done to theMalton Community Centre.

For the rst time, our City will have to take ondebt to nance some o these costs. Specically,$21 million will be used to und the retrottingo our streetlights with more energy ecientLED lights and to repair some bridges. This isa reality we knew was coming and we haveplanned accordingly. Outside o the propertytaxes we have limited unding options. Only42 per cent o City revenues are unded romother sources such as development charges,transit ares, recreation and parks, and otheruser ees.

I am proud o our City and our nancialstewardship. Mississauga has a strong legacy

o excellence in nancial planning and as ourCity matures, we have careully planned andadopted a sustainable way to use debt as anancing tool to support plans or the utureo our City.

Town Halls Produce Big Ideas for Ward 5In December, I hosted two Town Hall Meetingsin Malton and Britannia. At these Town Halls,residents heard rom many presenters, includingthe Peel Regional Police about joining the PoliceCommunity Liaison Committee (PCLC); rom theOntario Business Improvement Area Association(BIA) about starting a BIA in Malton and Britannia;rom the Greater Toronto Airport Authority aboutnoise and night fights; and rom City sta onthe Malton Community Improvement Plan.

We also discussed the commitment to build theGoreway Drive Bridge, changes to crematoriumsand organizing residents associations inneighbourhoods across Ward 5.

Along with the excellent presentations andengaging discussions, I also invited residents topost their BIG IDEAS or our ward onto a mapo Ward 5. This was their chance to give meeedback on what needs to be addressed in

Ward 5 and share their ideas about how we canmake our community and our neighbourhoodsstronger, saer and more prosperous. The BIG

IDEAS concept was a big hit! I received plentyo really good ideas, many o which I havebegun working on, including:

Creating a youth centre in Malton to giveyouth a place to meet ater school

Establishing an area where amilies can saelywatch planes take o and land at PearsonInternational Airport

Installing a crosswalk between the MaltonCommunity Centre and Lincoln M. AlexanderSecondary School

Establishing a BIA in Malton to attract morebusiness and customers

Installing a dual let turning lane romGoreway Drive onto Derry Road

Constructing a noise barrier rom MathesonRoad to Eglinton Road along the 403

Developing Britannia Farm or tourismand education

Installing trac calming measures onBristol Road to reduce speeds

Instituting tax breaks or residents whowork hard to upgrade and maintain theirproperty; and

More requent public transit

City Councillors and City Hall do not haveall the answers. To grow Mississauga and our

community, we need to hear rom you. Its yourcommunity and you should have a say in itsuture. I you have a BIG IDEA or even a smallsuggestion about how we can improve lieor Mississaugans and make our communitystronger, I want to hear rom you! My dooris always open.

New Ward 5 Website

My goal is to bring City Hall to the residents o Ward 5.One o the easiest and most eective ways to do thisis online. That is why I have recently launched a newWard 5 website atward5mississauga.ca. I amexcited about this new site because it will allow me tohave a conversation with residents and provide up to

date inormation about what is happening at the Cityand the Region.

It will also allow you to provide me with your eedbackthrough a number o outlets. For instance, the websitewill include a discussion board where you can post yourBIG IDEAS or Ward 5 or me and others to see. Thesite will also include a calendar o upcoming communityand city events, as well as a map o the Ward eaturingareas o interest and popular attractions. And, itwill include links to the most important governmentresources at the City and Regional level.

The site is dedicated to the residents o Ward 5 and Iam always open to suggestions. I there is somethingyou eel should be included on the website or i youthink changes could be made to better serve residents,please let me know. And, dont orget to visit the siteoten or updates!

Business Improvement AreasBusiness Improvement Areas (BIA) can have a tremendous positive impact on a community. Theyprovide local businesses with the opportunity to pool their unds to make enhancements to the business

district, and to attract more business and retain jobs. BIAs not only help to boost the morale o the localcommunity, they also help to reduce crime rates, create economic opportunities or local residents, andoten attract more visitors to the area.

I have seen rst hand the eects BIAs have had in Port Credit, Streetsville and Clarkson. They haverevitalized these areas and made them top destinations or consumers in Mississauga. I believe Maltonand Britannia can benet rom what BIAs have to oer, which is why I have been working with localbusinesses to start the process o creating BIAs in both areas o Ward 5.

On February 7, 2012, I hosted a very successul breakast with over 50 Ward 5 businesses, manyrom the Malton area, to discuss the benets o a BIA. Joining me was Mayor McCallion, Sheldon Leiba,President o the Mississauga Board o Trade, and Kay Matthews o the Ontario Business Improvement

Area Association (OBIAA). The event was hosted at the Centre or Training and Education in Malton.

Following the event, many businesses came orward to say they would like to be part o a BIA steeringcommittee and on April 12th, the steering committee met to discuss the Malton BIA and determine itsboundaries and the objectives othe BIA in its rst ve years. I you

own a business in Ward 5, or knowsomeone who might be interestedin being involved in creating a BIA,please contact me at 905-896-5500or [email protected]

And be sure to join us on June 19th orthe next Steering Committee Meeting.

RE: The Goreway Drive Grade Separation (The Goreway Bridge)We wanted to set the record straight and assure you that the completion o the Goreway Bridgeremains a top priority or both the City o Mississauga and the City o Brampton.

We understand that in recent months there has been a great deal o discussion in the communityabout the Goreway Drive Grade Separation over the CN Railway line on Goreway Drive, betterknown as the Goreway Bridge. We have heard rom many residents in the community that they

want this project completed as soon as possible. In response, we want to assure you that completingthe Goreway Bridge is a top priority or both Mississauga and Brampton, and that both cities arecommitted to nishing the project as soon as possible.

The proposed Goreway Bridge would cross the CN Railway that separates Mississauga andBrampton, which means that both cities are involved in the unding and construction o the project.

Although Brampton has taken the lead on the planning and design o this project, Mississauga willcontinue to provide its input and will und 50 per cent o the project.

To date, the Environmental Assessment and 60 per cent o the design work have been completed,with ull completion o the design expected by the end o this year (2012). To nish the design andplan or construction, the City o Brampton must acquire some property, which they currently do notown. Brampton is hoping to acquire this property by the end o 2013.

At this time, the plan is also to nalize agreements with CN Rail as the construction o the bridge willhave an impact on train service, causing signicant scheduling diculties and delays or CN Rail.During the 2014/2015 construction seasons, the plan is to und the relocation o the existing utilities(such as gas, electric and water) and to build a detour road to accommodate trac while the projectis being built. Finally, in 2016 we are planning to begin construction o the Goreway Bridge.

Beore construction can proceed, it is important to remember that the project must be unded andthat the unding or this project is subject to the approval o both Mississauga and Brampton CityCouncils. Although Mississauga has not yet set aside the money or this project, it is recognized inour Ten-Year Capital Plan. Brampton has budgeted or it in their 2016 Capital Roads Program.

Over the coming months, sta in both cities will continue to work together to ensure this projectmoves along on time and on budget. It is our hope that very soon no one will be delayed by passingtrains on Goreway Drive. Should you have any questions about this project or need urther details,

please do not hesitate to contact either o us.

Sincerely,

Hazel McCallion, C.M., LL.D. Bonnie CrombieMayor Councillor, Ward 5

Second Unitsin MississaugaThe City needs a range o housing choicesor everyone to eel they belong. Mississaugais working on Housing Choices through our

Aordable Housing Strategy. Second units,which are also known as basement apartmentsor in-law suites, are a part o this strategy.

A second unit is a separate living space inside asingle amily home. It could be in the basement,on the top foor, to one side or at the back othe home. It should have a kitchen, bathroom,bedroom/sleeping area and a separate entrance.

Last year, the provincial government passedBill 140, The Strong Communities through

Aordable Housing Act, requiring municipalitiesto allow second units. It is part o the provinceslong-term aordable housing strategy.

In Mississauga, one in three households has ahousing aordability issue, which means theyspend more than 30 per cent o their incomeon housing. Second units could help the Cityaccommodate the needs o those who needmore aordable housing options.

In late 2011, the City started consultationswith stakeholder organizations. In Februaryand March 2012, the City held ve publicconsultation workshops across the City toconsult with residents on their thoughts andideas about how to make second units work oreveryone. Residents were asked to discuss howthe City can allow second units while preserving

Residents feedback from Mississaugas

Giving Residents aVoice Through ResidentsAssociationsIt is critically important to my job that I hear rom

you about issues o concern in your communitiesand neighbourhoods. On top o contacting me or

visiting my oce hours, another way or residentsto strengthen their voice is to join together withtheir neighbours to orm residents associations,sometimes reerred to as Ratepayers orNeighbourhood Associations. There is not arigorous or ormal process to start a Residents

Association. All you need to do is come togetherwith members o your community your

neighbours and riends and meet to discuss

issues o common concern to you as a collectivegroup - or instance, a new development in

your area or a trac-related concern.

In Ward 5, there are currently no ormalResidents Associations. During the by-electioncampaign in September, I committed to helpingresidents orm these associations. Followingmy two Town Halls in December, a number oresidents have come orward to orm one othese groups. I you are interested in learningmore or would like to orm your own association,please contact me at 905-896-5500 or [email protected]. City sta and I

would be happy to assist you in ormalizingyour Residents Association and making youan aliated group to the City o Mississauga.

Time of Use ElectricityPricing Comes toMississauga

Throughout 2012, Enersource the companythat delivers electricity to Mississauga residentsand businesses will be implementing Time oUse (TOU) pricing or consumers. In a nutshell,TOU allows consumers to plan when they willuse electricity and, by doing so, potentiallysave a lot o money.

Why switch to TOU rates?

Smart meters and TOU rates are beingput in place by the Ontario government

to encourage people to shit some o theirelectricity use to o-peak hours. This willhelp save energy and could reduce yourelectricity bill substantially. It also will helpthe environment because i the peak use getstoo high, Ontario will need to build moregenerators to meet those peaks.

How TOU Works

Every resident will have their existingelectricity meter replaced by a smart meterthat can measure when you use electricity.

Your current electricity meter can onlymeasure how much electricity you usein a month, not when you use it.

With TOU rates, there will be three dierent

prices or electricity: Highest price - On-Peak

(when electricity demand is highest)

Medium price - Mid-Peak(when demand is moderate)

Lowest price - O-Peak(when demand is lowest)

Smart meters allow the Ontario governmentto set dierent electricity rates or dierenttimes o the day, allowing you to potentiallysave a great deal o money depending on

when you use electricity. For more inormationyou can visit the Enersource website atenersource.com:

The height of the fence on your property is regulated by the Fence By-law and the maximumheight of the fence is restricted depending upon the location on your property. If you areplanning on building a new fence or altering your existing fence, view the Fence By-law397-78 online to check the regulations, or call the Citys Compliance and LicensingEnforcement at 905-896-5655 for more information. The Citys website has informationabout this and other by-laws at mississauga.ca/portal/cityhall/bylaws.

Large Infrastructure Projects in Ward 5The City of Mississaugas Hurontario-Main Light Rail Transit Project

Child Care in Ward 5You may have heard recently aboutproposed changes to the Region o Peels

child care acilities.On January 26, 2012, a proposal wasput orward by sta at the Region o Peelrecommending that the Region no longer providechild care, or in other words, that it no longeroperate the Learn.Play.Care centres, such as theLancaster LPC and Malton LPC. This is due to theimplementation o ull-day kindergarten (FDK)

and the cost to deliver child care services, whichcan be twice the cost o the care delivered byprivate providers.

The Region has calculated that by no longer

providing direct child care they could ree upan estimated $12.8 million in annual undingthat would be used to create an additional 580subsidies or parents, or a total o approximately975 subsidized child care spaces.

I am a strong advocate o high quality childcare, and believe that we should do all we can

to ensure all amilies have access to good qualitycare. On March 8, 2012, I was appointed tothe Child Care Task Force at the Region o Peelto urther examine the Regions role in providing

child care. The committee is set to report itsndings and recommendations in September2012 at which time we will have another debateabout the Regions role in child care. Duringthe review, you are welcome to provide youreedback to [email protected]. As well,the committee will be engaging in various ormso public consultation.

Action onCrematoriumsDue to changes in the regulations associated

with the Ontario governments Funeral, Burialand Cremation Services Act, 2002, which comesinto eect on July 1, 2012, uneral homes willnow be allowed to operate a crematorium outsideo cemeteries. This change will aect not onlyMalton, but the entire city. As such, we are takinga made in Mississauga approach to ensure wedene where crematoriums should be locatedin the uture.

The practice o cremation is becoming much morecommon, but I believe there must be a balancebetween the right o uneral homes to practicecremation, and the rights o Mississauga residentsnot to be aected by the process o cremation. Inthe cremation process, many harmul chemicals,contaminants and toxins can be emitted into

the atmosphere. As such, it is important thatcrematoriums are not located too close toresidential areas.

As one o my rst acts as a City Councillor, Ipassed a motion at City Council calling on the

Ontario government to look into this matterand make a ruling on minimum set backs toa residential area. Following this motion inOctober, City sta tabled a report on April 2ndto the Planning and Development Committeethat recommended crematoriums be locatedonly in industrial zones and that they be atleast 300 metres rom a residential or sensitivearea. A public consultation on this report and itsrecommendations was held on May 14, 2012and a nal report will be made to Council inthe all.

For more inormation, please contact [email protected] or905-896-5500.

In 2010, the cities o Mississauga and Brampton completed the Hurontario-Main Street Study thatlooked at the possibility o Light Rail Transit (LRT) running rom the lakeshore in Port Credit to downtownBrampton along Hurontario Street. This project was identied as one o the priority projects or Metrolinxin the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. An essential part o the study process was public consultationin the aected communities along the corridor to understand what people needed and wanted rom thisproject. From these consultations, the planners agreed that LRT is the best transit option or this corridor.

On April 25th, the City o Mississaugas Hurontario-Main LRT Project team updated the public onprogress, timelines and next steps, as well as provided residents with inormation on LRT systems incities around the world. The next steps o this project include extensive public consultation givingcommunities plenty o opportunities to review concepts and designs, and to provide eedback.
